Designed by the prestigious architectural firm, Vonnegut & Bohn, the building at 800 North Capitol Avenue wasoriginally home to the Kahn Tailoring Company. Kahn produced mainly suits and military uniforms in the Indianapolisfacility until the company was sold in the Mid-20th Century. Following several sales, the building fell victim to decadesof deferred maintenance and poorly executed modifications. This unfortunately left the building with a crumbling concreteframe, delaminating brick veneers, non-funtioning egress systems, environmental contamination, and a missing fire suppressionsystem. An intimidating project to undertake.

DKGR produced plans and detailed exhibits outlining repair, renovation and restoration to aid in the procurement of taxcredits, both Historic and Income-based, to help bolster the budget the project would desperately need. After obtainingthe sometimes finicky approval of the National Park Service, the project shuddered to life, throwing off years of neglect tobecome a model of the historic restoration and preservation process.

800 Cap, as it is currently known, now houses 112 apartment units with a landscaped courtyard, roof deck, fitness center and other amenities.
